Thanks to the hard work of the actual workers at the University of York catering company, this year two of our executives received honours from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Second for services to education. The workers got minimum wage though so it's cool

about half what I paid 2 years ago for a 2 bedroom in the Bay Area; everything is crazy

My rent for a 2 bedroom is $1600 and has only gone up $200 over the last 4 years, clearly what everyone should do is move to hell state Florida and live in garbage areas outside of walking distance from anything worthwhile :smugdog:

I just paid 2700 this month for renting a three bedroom with my wife in the far east side of Queens

When my sister lived in Manhattan she paid about this much for a 1 bedroom apartment (adjusting for 2018 dollars).

The suburbs are a cancer for many reasons...but it's hard to blame people for living there because my mortgage on my 5 bedroom house is less than what you're paying for an apartment.

1. Ryan ToysReview – $22 Million
The No. 1 earner on YouTube this year is not your average millionaire — far from it. He's a 7-year-old boy named Ryan who reviews toys for other kids.

Last year, it was reported Ryan made $11 million from his YouTube channel, coming in at number 8 on Forbes' 2017 list, but the toy critic is moving on up. His YouTube channel has attracted a huge following of parents and children who watch Ryan test out new toys and share his thoughts on them.
...
His most-watch video to date featured huge easter eggs and a bouncy house, and has amassed over 1.6 billion views. His YouTube channel has over 25 billion views in total and 17 million subscribers. Forbes reports he now has his own line of collectibles selling at Walmart.

Look, I don't like the police, and I'm a police abolitionist. And I'm not one of those people who fantasizes about a golden age in American politics or culture, either. But I feel like there was a time when if someone asked you about your hobbies, and you said "I like to watch videos of other people's children opening toys," you'd go on some kind of watchlist, and that was probably a good thing.

I think most of the viewers are other children. When they're not watching poorly-made Korean CG clips of Elsa eating Spider-Man's fingers, anyway.
